Suppose that a single firm is a monopolist in a market with the demand function P=200-20. The monopolist has total fixed cost of TFC = 100 and total variable cost of TVC= 200. The monopolist charges a single price in the market (i.e., no price discrimination). Answer the following questions, and write your answers in the Answer Sheet. What is the monopolist's profit function (II, should be a function of Q)? What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing output (Q)? What is the price (P) associated with that output? What is the monopolist's profit (II), based on its profit-maximizing choice? Note: the profit function should be an equation, but the other answers should be numbers.
